Just Be You

I had another graduation card to make and decided to make this one a little different from the typical "congratulations" cards I have been making. I got the idea when I was looking at the Bitten by the bug 2 challenge for this week. I also decided to use the layout from Mojo Monday to complete the card. I enjoyed making this card and I hope my niece will like it. I used Sentimentals for the bee and the scallop tag. I used Paisley for the sentiment. The inside is a vellum sticker I had in part of my neverending stash. The yellow border is from a Fiskars border punch and the green ribbon is from Paper Studio. The yellow border looks crooked to me. I didn't realize it when I took the picture. It's not crooked on the card, but it is in the picture. I think it might be because I had the card open so it would stand up on its own. I am gonna have to rethink that idea.

Let's Do Lunch!

I created this card to send to a friend I don't get to see very often. Hopefully we can get together for lunch soon. I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the basket and the sun. I used Paisley for the turtles. You can't really tell in the picture but the body is a light green and the shell is yellow. I used the yellow thinking it would go good with the red "tablecloth" paper. I will be entering this card in this week's Cricuter's Anonymous Challenge.

Fantabulous Cricut and Charisma Cardz Challenges

I have been wanting to create this card since I got this paper. The paper is from DCWV "The Sweet Stack". I love this paper. The flower is cut from Walk in My Garden and the butterfly is cut from Sentimentals. I used pearls for the body and antenna of the butterfly. The ribbon is from The Paper Studio and the sentiment was one I had in my neverending stash of stickers. I will be entering this card in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge for this week and also in the Charisma Cardz Challenge.

SPCC Challenge #44 and Fantabulous Challenge # 6

I created this card with the SPCC Color Challenge in mind. I have also been wanting to use this owl on a card so I decided to combine the two. The colors aren't very traditional for an owl, but that's what I like about it. I used Sentimentals for the entire card. I really like that cartridge. I will also be entering this card in this week's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #6. I actually have several entries for that particular challenge this week. What can I say, I love birds and butterflies.

Wedding Card for Kerstyn

I created this card for my neice who is getting married in May. I used Wild Card for the rings then used Sentimentals for the sentiment and scallop. I added a clear stone to the ring and a pearl button drop from my endless stash to complete the embellishments. Congratulations Kerstyn! I also used the layout from Mojo Monday to create this card.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Gene

I created this card for my Uncle Gene's surprise birthday party. Sometimes it is difficult to create men's themed cards, but the chocolate color seemed to work out well. I used Sentimentals to create the card, Beyond Birthdays for the sentiment, and Opposites Attract for the name on the envelope.

Graduation Cards

I created these two graduation cards for some girls at church. I used Hello Kitty Greetings and Beyond Birthdays for the sentiment. I made the cards just a little different. We will be honoring our graduations Sunday, May 2nd at church and I wish to congratulate both Jessica and Jennifer and wish them the best for their future.
